Couple of Gummys with the kids

I get a bit slack when it comes to posting pics on here but reading Andy ( sea kems ) double header story with his boys made me write and post a couple of pics.

Last summer I was back in SE South Oz seeing my family when me and a good mate took the kids out in the bay for a quick fish.

Its often a lottery & generally you are happy if you can manage a feed. Where I grew up is a lot different to the West Coast of South Oz.

Anyway we'd caught a couple of small snapper ( released ) and then a couple of ok Gummys, My daughter and step son both managed one each which made me chuffed but anyway the little bloke was so desperate to be the king of the boat he was concentrating so hard when there was a bit of action happening but he couldn't keep his eyes off the last gummy that had been bled and not yet thrown on ice. It was down not far from his feet with its head furtherest away but I could tell by him glancing down every few seconds while trying ever so hard to concentrate it was throwing him off his game. Anyway he looked down checking all was ok and the next time he was all serious I reached down and grabbed the back of his ankle - Well F#%K me he nearly leapt into the drink, it was a pisser!! He bloody thought he was a goner... He's got a good sense of humour and still reminds me of it but yeah good times when you have the kids around especially if you can go home with the nights dinner.

 Smiles say it all Tim. It's my biggest pleasure now putting the boys onto fish. And gummy shark superb!
